Samsung Continuum (just announced as part of the Galaxy S line in the US, no idea whether it'll come out over here).

The unique selling point is a second display at the bottom of the phone below the capacitive buttons, it shows you news feeds, music controls, messages etc. Seems a peculiar feature to have, but I can see how the music controls would be quite cool (letting you see what is playing and skip tracks without ever leaving the webpage you are looking at).

Anyone applied the 'One Click Lag Fix'? I had it one my phone a while back, but forgot to remove before doing stock firmware update - bricked my phone! Got it back from Samsung all fixed, so can't complain.
I notice there are a few updated versions on XDA - Really made a MASSIVE difference to overall speed when I had it, but not sure how the newer versions fair...........Really want to re-apply a new one if performance is as good as the previous versions, but a bit 'scared' due to my previous experience.........

If anyone is interested there is a new OneClickLagFix on the marketplace - Recreated by RyanZA who seems to do a lot for this phone. Really easy to run (one click, like it says) and I now have a phone which is SO much more responsive than before.

You do need to root phone first (this was included in the previous version but breached Googles T&C) - I can recommend Z4Root (also by RyanZA) as it is one click to root. However, you may need to grab it from his website direct or XDA forum, as Google don't like it.

Thanks beastmaster. I had an HTC HD2 which I bought on the basis of getting a windows mobile 7 update which never transpired. Even if WM7 is great, don't feel inclined to take the risk, so I think it'll be an Android phone for me, and as far as I can tell the S2 looks like the pick of the current crop.

I'll make sure I'll go into details when I get it but I have been playing with my brothers, who upgraded last week and it's an astonishing bit of tech!

The screen is simply incredible. So bright and clear. The viewing angle is amazing too. I can't believe how much better it is than the iPhone 3GS and even iPhone 4's screen!

Anyway, once you get past the screen the one big stand out feature is how bloody thin it is! How Samsung have managed to fit everything in there is amazing! It's black magic!

I've had a little play around with a few Android phones in the past, namely the Desire which my missus has, and this shits all over that in terms of speed! It's so smooth and a absolute joy use! I've also had a little play around with the camera and that is also very impressive, especially the video recording (for a phone anyway!).

Having only spent 30 minutes or so with it I can't go into too much more depth but I'll give more impressions once it lands at my door.

I got my S2 yesterday and I'm blown away. Everything I said above still holds true. (it's too early in the morning to do a full review so I'll do a list of bullet points of things I like/dislike as they pop into my head)

It's taking me a little while to get used to Android at the moment, having moved from iOS, but it is a fantastic system especially if you like to customise shit.

The screen is a miracle. It needs to be seen to be believed. So crisp and clear.

Battery is ok so far. It's on par with my iPhone 3GS experiences. The power saving options are very cool however but I need to investigate them a little more.

It's thin, so very very thin. I normally like my phones to have a little bulk to them so I know they're there in my pocket and I've not forgotten them. I can see myself panicking a couple of times over the next week or so, thinking that I've left it at home.

No Spellchecker. I found the iphone's spell check rather useful so I'll have to see if I can download one.

I've never really cared about having a camera on my phone but I've got to say the S2 takes some nice shots at times. It helps that you can view them on that beautiful screen of course!

I know this is true for all android phones but the Google integration is really impressive. Doc, calendars, gmail, contacts all imported in a minute. Really easy.

It's fast. My past experiences with android has left the impression that they are all rather slow, especially scrolling around the home screen but this is lighting fast. It really does put everything I've ever used to shame.

Again, this is another general android point, but the notification bar is a work of genius. It's worth moving from iOS to Android for this alone!

The sound quality is good. Not amazing, but good enough.

Earphones are good too, although there doesn't seem to be any volume control on them, unless I'm missing something! I'm no expert but I'd say they are better than the stock Apple earphones, not that that means much.

Erm....that's all I can think of right now. I'll post more impressions if I can think of any. If anyone has any questions I'll be happy to answer them.

I don't agree with the reviews comment about build quality. Yes it's thin, but it's doesn't feel cheap and I'm very confident that it will hold up to abuse. It certainly doesn't feel like it's going to snap!

You may think I'm nuts...but 12 months contract and I told the lady to go back 6 months of usage on my phone and I never once went over 75mins a month or 200 text a month and my data usuage hardly passed 200mb a month.

Total contract cost: £592.99

I'm happy with that as I am still waiting for Nokia/MS to produce the goods. If they don't then I'll just stick with Android, unless the evil cunt's at apple pull off another super phone. Which isn't unheard of.

Mine's just arrived and removing the back cover was a very scary experience. Still it seems OK once it's on, so hopefully won't be an issue.
